After switching to aptosid d-u returns :_ The package linux-image-2.6.35-4.slh.6-aptosid-686 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it
I followed all recommendations and didn't change anything manually, what could go wrong ?

exact error message please.
What does dpkg tells you if you issue the commands above?

I managed to reinstall aptosid kernel by first removing headers from apt cache using dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq
Thanks for you input.The only problem now is that boot-time messages been displayed in huge font, is there a way to control that ?Normally in Sidux they were in my native res.

Having the same issue with the font size. It makes it hard to do anything outside of KDE because you can't fit much text on the screen. Any way to adjust this?
